20 miles per gallon

I have noticed may manual calculation is about 1.5 mpg higher than manual calculation and the dealer says they can not do anything, it this a known prolem

Some of us refer to the overhead as the "lie-o-meter"....

Which is not a biggee, UNLESS you think if they screw THAT simple calculations up, what else can they screw up ???

No mod's 3,600 miles

Would like better mileage but that ain't why I bought the ding dang truck.

And that my friends is why we have USA on our license plates.

Talking Why do an oil change?

That truck of yours, with 31mpg, up hills, why shoot, I wouldn't worry about changing your oil for at least what?..........20,000 miles or so. Your truck defies all odds. May not even need oil..........lol.........

Just a little poke, 04250man

04250man, check your owner manual diesel supplement. Lot of good info in there.
Also read the part about draining the fuel/water separator on the HFCM. Do a search on this forum on oil change. Also, if you do your own, I recommend, get a Fumoto valve. It makes the job easier.

It seems to me that his guy is playin' around. All of his posts are in this thread. I feel comfortable saying that 31 MPG is impossible in the 6.0 PSD. When very few people ever see 20 MPG, how could someone else see 31 MPG? Not only that, the engine isn't even broken in yet.
